Mary's choice of tiara made perfect sense. The Ruby Parure came into the DRF through Lovisa of Sweden and on top of that, the set was Ingrid of Sweden's signature piece. Likewise, it was no coincidence that Victoria wore the Connaught Tiara – commissioned for her and Frederik's shared...

Oh boy... you'd think an institution like the DRF would avoid a pitfall as obvious as the Streisand Effect 🤦‍♀️ But then you remember how shoddy the DRF's communications department is and it makes sense again.

It is simply nonsensical to assume that a resident of a country must agree with all the politics of said country. Gustav is a German citizen. Are we speculating he feels uneasy about using a surrogate as well? Besides, while surrogacy within Germany indeed is illegal, there's absolutely nothing...

Gustav Albrecht's birth was also officially announced by the DRF while this time around, it seems like Billed Bladet inquired and Gustav and Carina's spokesperson confirmed. Maybe they haven't picked a name yet and that's why they hadn't announced the birth yet. I don't know. To feel some type...

Benedikte doesn't strike me as particularly narrow-minded person, so I'm sure she loves all her grandchildren equally for who they are – no matter how they look or how they were brought into this world.

QMII's smile in that picture is just wonderful!

Wonderful news! Gustav and Carina welcomed their second child – a daughter – via surrogate on 26 April 2024. Kæmpe baby-overraskelse: Prins Gustav og prinsesse Carina er blevet forældre igen

:previous: How so? People here aren't outraged that a teenager went partying. That's just the tabloids attempting to garner clicks. And they would do so wether he's 1st or 2nd in line to the throne. Isabella, unfortunately, is in for the same treatment next year.

Woeful news given its history with the DRF. A favourite palace of Queen Caroline Amalie as well as Christian X and Queen Alexandrine. But as members of the DRF aren't exactly lining up to use it, an understandable decision. In a different decade, one could easily have imagined M&F taking up...

Unless Christian moves directly into the main building after his granny 😂

Today, 13 April, Nathalie has been elected to the board of the Danish Equestrian Association. She received the most votes of all the candidates.

Brilliant news for Eid! I'm so happy for them! Especially happy news for Rajwa after losing her dad earlier this year.

That is the most precious thing! What a sweetheart Athena is.

:previous: Indeed they were! Both travelled with their respective classes at school to Val Thorens. Not a school trip per se (as attendance is not an obligation) but a proud "gymnasium" tradition (at least in the Copenhagen area, can't speak for the rest of the country) to go skiing on trips...

A bit gutted not to see Mary in uniform (I know the majority on here is interested in seeing Frederik all uniformed up but in this abode, we're all about Major Mary looking smashing in her Home Guard attire 😅) but what a great speech! I love her affiliation with the Home Guard. And somewhat...
